Reigns, pictured at last year's event, was reportedly in attendance for Tuesday's Tribute to the Troops show that will air on December 20

“If Reigns appears on the Tribute to the Troops broadcast, it will be his first appearance on WWE programming since announcing he was taking an indefinite leave to deal with a recurrence of leukaemia.”

He said: “I want to show my family, my friends, my children and my wife that when life throws a curveball at me, I am the type of man that will stand in that batter’s box, I will crowd the plate, I will choke up and I will swing for the fences every single time.”
